    Not many people know what a Cornet is.Its very similar to a Trumpet,when I was younger my brother played Trumpet so I got a Cornet and they sound great together.A Cornet is a little more mellow.

    Uncle Robert is something else. He does know his family, a lot of younger people do not know (or care to know) their family's history.

    This world is full of interesting people and stories. We ALL have a story of our time here. It’s so important to keep family history alive. The good, bad, worse than bad and downright ugly, all form the fabric of our brief time here. I love this channel. When I was much younger, I was enthralled with cemeteries and death. I didn’t want to miss any of the great stories from those living right here and now! So, I talk to people. Anyone. Sitting in a waiting room, on a bus, in a grocery store, any place at all. We are all amazing creatures. Every single one of us. ❤️ Ron I admire, respect and love you for sharing this channel. Thank you.

Uncle Robert is cool, Im sure we all could picture just hanging around with him, drimking a cold one, n listen to him elaborate all the family stories from years ago. I like how when he mentioned various names youd see an old photo of them pop up on the screen, a very nice gesture, n it makes them seem even more real. Another great vid Ron!
